ANNUAL MEETING OF THE N.
G.. FARMERS ASSOCIATION.

This Association was organized at the
Farmers Mass Convention, which was
held in the city of Raleigh, January 26,
1887, by electing a President, one Vice
President for each Congressional district
in the State, a Secretary and an Execu-
tive Committee of five. It adopted a
Constitution and Bylaws for its govern
ment. 1t adjourned to meet in the city
of Greensboro on the second Wednesday
in January, 1883. The Constitution re-
stricts the membership of the Association
to such only as have their chief interest
in farming. Each county in the State is
entitled to as many votes in the body as
it has members in the lower. branch of
our Legislature, but in no manner restricts
the number of qualified delegates who
are to cast these votes.
The object and purpose of the Associa-
ton is to take such action as may best
improve and promote the agricultural
interests of our people. This is the broad
basis upon which it is founded and it
hopes to have the hearty approval and CO.
operation of every farmer in our State.
Although called without organized
effort or formulated plan, the convention
of last January was composed OF nearly
four hundred farmers representing forty.
three counties. We earnestly hope that
every county in the State will be repre-
sented in our meeting in Greensboro.
Let the farmers in each county in the
State call meetings at once and elect dele
gates Gas many as will Gomez and give
them certificates, to the end that all sec
tons and the interests Of all sections may
be represented. Reduced rates on rail-
roads nave been secured and the agents
are instructed to issue round trip tickets
to all delegates. Reduced rates have also
been secured at the hotels and boarding
houses in Greensboro.
j A, Farmers Institute WILDE held during
the session. Able and distinguished agri-
~culturists will be present to address the
body on important topics connected with
agriculture. Every effort will be made to
render the occasion interesting and profit
able. ELIAS CARR, President.

(OFFICIAL.)

The demand for organizers, is so ear
nest and general among our farmers in all
sections of our State, and applications for
commissions. are being madeln such lrregg-
ular form, that it is deemed. for the more
expeditions and more thorough and eff
Gent organizations of our State, that a
number of earnest, competent and devoted
brethren be commissioned at the earliest
practicable time, and sent to different por-
tons of the State. -
This is. therefore, to notify such as may
desire commissions, that applications
should be made, by letter, to the President
of the State Alliance, Charlotte, n. c., or
in person to our. State Organizer Bro.aN.
He. Elliott. In either case the appll-
cant must furnish testimonials as to char
acter, capacity and fitness for the work.
{ In all. cases Mt rs absolutely essential to
! good work and success, that the organizer
should be thoroughly instructed in the Sc
cret work of the order and in the princl-
Piles, purposes and business plans of the
order. The State Organizer being thor
oughly versed in all the work of the Or
der, in detail will gladly impart full In
structions to all who may be appointed.
1t is highly important that each one ap-
pointed should spend a few days with the
State Organizer, in his work and thus
learn practically the duties he must per-
form. We want good, earnest, active,
capable men for this work, and men OF
character and integrity, who will devote
themselves faithfully to il.

KEEPING COOL.
HOW OUR CITIZENS MANAGE TO EUCHRB A
HOT DAY.
An Immense Crowd Dat st Wheeling Park YsSter-
day 10 Enjoy the Shade, the Music
and Other Pleasures

Yesterday was hot day, and even in early
morn the mercury began climbing the
golden stair and people commenced to
melt. The day would have easily passed
of for one in the middleVOf August, and
been considered a model day for that
month. The heat and dust in the city
made existence awfully stufy and almost
unbearable, so many of our citizens turned
their thoughts countryward, and, as the
weather was beautiful, they soon turned
their faces in the same direction.
Long before noon vehicles of all styles,
sizes and conditions began to stream to the
Elysian fields, laden with sweltering human
freight, while many Others took the best
means of lOcomOtion at their disposal-and
walked. Wheeling Park seemed to be the
haven to which most Of the cOmfOrt-seekers
flew, and before noon the trains on the
Wheeling and Elm Grove motor line were
crowded with people bound for that popu-
lar resort The one, two and three o'clock
trains could scarcely accommodate the
immense rush, and car load after car load
of humanity were deposited at the gate OF
the Park.
1t was undoubtedly the biggest day out
there this season, and although the
grounds are large they seemed to be
crowded. There were from 2, 800 to 5000
people there during the afternoon, while
others took advantage of shade and the
country air in other spots. The beauties
of the Park have increased ten fold IN the
past week OF two, the trees and foliage
being out in foil leaf, while many OF the
flowers are in full bloom and lovlier than
ever. The directors continue making i'm
provements right along, and after while
there will be few places in the country
that will compare fayOrably with Wheel
| ing Park. There are few now that AFFORD
better opportunity to spend a delightful
afternoon than it does.
Although the crowd was immense yester-
day, the refreshing breezes and protection
from the sun were ample to keep every
body cool, and the delightful programme
of concert music rendered by the Opera
House Orchestra during the afternoon was
highly enjoyed.
Wheeling Park has certainly become a
breathing spot for our citizens and they
have come to appreciate 1t more fully.
One trip ont there on these nice hot days
will convince any one that it is Just the
place TO keep cool.

at the end of tine season. The remaining
clubs in both associations will then be con-
solidated under the title Of the American
League. Each nine will play six games
with every other club in the League. There
will probably be litigation if there is an
attempt to bring about this scheme Some
clubs won't have it.
The Ground committee should place sut-
ficient wire netting in front Of the grand
stand without another days delay. Satur-
day Frank Hoge, while sitting in the stand,
was hit in the ear by foul tip, and yes
terdav his neck was very badly swollen.
People would enjoy the game great deal
more with good screen IN front oil them.
President Stearns, Of the Detroit Club,
said Saturday that the story that the Phil.
adelphia Club had made an offer OF SIS, 600
for the pick of three players from the De
troit nine was true. Al. Reach offered
him that sum, and, on his refusal, lncreas-
ed the offer to $4,000, which was also re-
fused. There is not enough money In
Philadelphia, - said Mr.. Stearns, Ito buy
the three best players in the Detroit
team" He said that BrOuthers, Rlch-
ardson and Thompson were probably
the men wanted. In the
course of a conversation ON base ball mat
te,s President Stearns said: THE Detroits
are going to win the pennant, hands down.
We shall win the worlds championship,
and then" he added with slight grittiDg
of the teeth, I'VE will see whether the
League will treat us square, and.if not we
will 90 where we will be appreciated. "
Where this was he did not say. Manager
Watkins said the reported offer was correct,
but that he believed it was bluff. He
said the club had an offer from IDdianapO'
lis to purchase Twitchell or rent him by
the month, but declined it.

The stsubenViIIe Club ReorganIzed.
The popular disgust with the Steuben-
vile club has ended in q complete reOr-
ganization, and We shall probably hear
better news from up the river during the
coming week. The directors of the club
met yesterday afternoon and accepted the
resignation of Manager Woods as a starter.
They then decided to engage Quinn, OF
Pittsburg to take charge Of the nine,
and he will be on hand to-day. The
wedding out of the club then began.
Ii was decided to retain HObright, Ben
nett and Hennegan as fielderS, Nicholson
as second base, and Bendell ~ third.
Quinn will play first. Berger, of Pitts
burgh, and Duffy, of PittStOn, Pa, both
crack eatchers, werehccepted, and negOtia-
tions were entered into with two pitchers,
one of Cincinnati and the other Of Cleve-
land, their names being withheld at pres
ent 1t is expected all the new men will
I've on hand by tomorrow.
Saturday evenings Steubenville papers
pitched into the club in red-hOt manner.
The Herald said
''Steubenville's alleged base ball club is
a disgusting failure and the sooner the
majority of the present players are sent
home the better it will be for the fair name
and fame of the city. Since the opening Of
the Ohio League season Steubenyille has
been disgraced in the base ball world by rs
an incOmpent a set of base ball players ~
ever wore uniforms and it is high time that
new club he secured or the gates OF the
Sixth avenue hall park be nailed up.
After they have been given long and i'm
partial trial and found wanting, We have
no further use for them and like the Arabs,
they should fold their tents and
quietly steal away. The press in all parts
of the State where the Ohio League Is
represented is pOking Steubenyille in the
ribs; ieers are heard on every side; ridicule
is falling on Us, all on account of the
present bum club, and 50 far as the
Herald il concerned, it will not, in the
future, place itself in false position for
the benefit of ball club which has sus-
tanned sixteen straight defeats and to
day plays ball like unto crowd OF school
boys. When the season opened 1t was
our rather hard luck to be pitted against
the strongest clubs of the League, and
there was some little excuse for failure,
but "A club that is unable To hold Akron
level is no good to Steubenville, and they
should not wait to be kicked ont, but 90
at once. Day after day the people 90 10
the park expecting to see some improve
ment % the efforts OF the PLAYERS, bat they
come away disappointed and disguised,
and the whole affair is becoming 50
mOuotonOus a. to demand halt
right where we are. Whether We
win to-days game from Akron or not We
can't play ball and there is no use in at
tempting to disguise that humiliating fact.
Now "a word to the stockholders. With a
competent club, winning our share OF the
games, SteubeHville would turn out large
crowds, To obtain competent men they
will have to be paid living salaries. 4 $50
or $40 player can't he secured for $50 or
$40, and people can't he expected To spend
time and money looking day after day at
their clubs defeat"
